That is true. It would be an easy way for a rich person to seize power as well. But I wasn't thinking invasion. Too messy, and too expensive. Think of how some people would be willing to bow to their new, "benevolent" overlord.

Von Braun was a brilliant man who, having seen the worst of war, was firmly committed to peaceful exploration. It wasn't so much that he opposed weapons in space, but the weaponization of space. There is a difference, and he understood what kind of people would, I believe a better word for what he was referring to is militarize space. He wanted to see nothing more of European style empires. It's what made him such a good American, back when there was still meaning to be an American. It's only been a few years, but it seems like forever. Obama has done enough harm to this nation that a firing squad is too good for him. The people have told him to stop, and still he persists.

He has paved the way for an antichrist type individual. No wonder I've had those thoughts.

Tim, I don't think they care about too expensive and too messy....   they can make heaps rebuilding, cut down the population, bring in a NWO and weaponize space.... all in one hit.  Ummm where did that come from? 

Obama has most definitely paved the way for the anti-Christ....  smiley: eek  He is probably his forerunner.....   smiley: eyes
